Salt Lake City Fishing Report: Trout, Bass, and Hot Spots
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Howdy folks, Artificial Lure here with your Salt Lake City fishing report for March 30, 2025. It's a beautiful spring day out there with temperatures expected to reach a high of 65°F and partly cloudy skies. Sunrise was at 6:14 AM and sunset will be at 7:52 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.
Now, as for tides, we don't have those here in our landlocked state, but water levels in our reservoirs and lakes are looking good after a wet winter. The fish are definitely active as the water warms up, with reports of some nice catches coming in from around the area.
Recently, anglers have been hauling in good numbers of rainbow trout, brown trout, and even some tiger trout from our local waters. The Jordan River Parkway has been producing some nice catches, with folks using small spinners and curly tail grubs to entice those feisty trout. Over at Jordanelle Reservoir, bass fishing is starting to pick up, with smallmouth hitting on jigs and soft plastics.
For you bait fishermen, PowerBait in chartreuse or rainbow colors has been working well for trout, while nightcrawlers are always a solid choice for just about anything that swims. If you're into artificial lures (and with a name like mine, how could you not be?), I'd suggest trying out some small gold or silver spoons, like Jake's Spin-A-Lures or Acme Kastmasters. For bass, you can't go wrong with a white curly tail grub on a jig head.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Strawberry Reservoir if you're willing to make a bit of a drive. The cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing has been excellent there lately. Closer to home, Bountiful Lake has been producing some nice catches of trout and bass, and it's a great spot for the whole family.
Remember folks, fishing licenses are required for anyone 12 and older, so make sure you're legal before you head out. And as always, practice catch and release when you can to keep our fisheries healthy for years to come.
That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off and wishing you tight lines and bent rods. See you on the water!
